Tower Hamlets has been awarded one of the top spots on The Times' list of best places to live in the UK 2025, ranking 33rd overall. This ranking was primarily driven by its outstanding schools, outperforming traditional favorites like Richmond and Cheltenham. The borough received an exceptional score of five for having the highest percentage of schools rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted, positioning it as the best education provider among England's local authorities.
The assessment by The Times utilized a comprehensive approach, considering diverse metrics like community interest companies, healthcare, and crime statistics. Tower Hamlets excelled with a strong score of 14 in the community interest companies category, showcasing its vibrant local initiatives. However, it faced challenges with a low satisfaction score for GPs, ranked at 259, and a significant crime rate, scoring 226. These factors highlight both the borough's strengths in education and community engagement but also areas needing improvement.
